 cross-vigils he perfoims thiis : JETymn to 

 Micliael -mih. one cross-vigil, Hymn to 

 Mary -with the next, and so alternately. 

 § 29. The four books of the Gospels 

 are to be read aloud at meal time till the 

 end of the year, a book to every quarter : 

 the book of ilatthew in the spring- 

 quarter, and the rest similarly in their 

 order. 

 5 §30. He uses four cross-vigils : a 

 cross-vigil "with Jieafi and Symnumdicat 

 at prime ; then he sings the Psalms as 

 far as the beginning of the last fiity; 

 next, a cross-vigil with Beati again 

 10 at the end of the middle fifty, that is, 

 Cantemus at this point; then a cross- 

 vigil at Domine prohasti in the same 

 way : that is, Hymn to Michael one 

 time ; Hymn to Mary the next ; finally, 

 15 a cross-vigil at the end [of the Psalms] 

 with the thirty paternosters. He used 

 to call the Beati after which the Hymn 

 to Michael is sung, "Michael's Beati" 

 and the Beati after which the Hymn 

 20 ^ J/(7/j/ is sung, " Mary's i)(?r7i/." The 

 Beati, after which he performs the cross- 

 vigil of eventide he calls "little Beati " 

 because neither Unitas nor Cantemus is 

 sung after it. Howbeit, Magnificat and 

 25 -2(/»i«!<m (?(Vfl< are sung after it. I^Tow, 

 the cross- vigil is not performed between 

 the two Christmases, or between the 

 two Easters, and flagellation is not in- 

 flicted at that time. Even the cross-vigil 

 30 with Hyinnum dicat at noeturns is not 

 performed between the two Christmases 

 nor between the two Easters. He 

 excuses also at that time the singing of 

 the psalms of prayer at vespers, between 

 35 the two Christmases. The thirty pater- 

 nosters he sings at the cross-vigil of even-
